Theoretical Framework
A promiscuous ligand A specific ligand
Radhakrishnan and Tidor, J. Phys. Chem. B, 111:13419-13435, 2007

• Smaller ligands are more promiscuous than larger ligands

Some Other Insights
• Smaller ligands are more promiscuous
• Hydrophobic ligands are more promiscuous because they are near the center of biological charge space
• Hydrophobic ligands are more promiscuous because they are not as sensitive to shape differences
• Flexibility makes polar and charged ligands more specific, but allows for greater overall binding affinity to multiple partners.
• Asymmetric groups can lead to increased promiscuity

The Many Roles of Computation Computation can…
…map out key interactions in a
binding site.
…design drugs. …predict properties that make drugs
specific or “promiscuous.”
…design drug cocktails.
…model cellular events.
…design novel experimental
systems.
…etc. !
…analyze clinical data
